dodger	Love it. A while ago someone on here (or might have been the Peach and Black boys) pointed out an Inspector Gadget bit at 3.20, it cracks me up every time

Nay - to this and every other "namecheck" song.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I give it a "Yay," but I do get lost toward the end during the "shoutouts." If it was recorded like the live version he did on Leno, it would get a big YAY.

Massive yay!

Best track on that disc by a country mile. Dark, dirty funk with some great lyrics.

"Now that the Whitehouse is black, We gotta take the radio back"

...we have only scratched the surface of what the mind can do...

It's fine until the shoutouts to Maxwell and Christina Milian. The reference is barely relevant now, let alone 5 years from now. Luckily he didn't shout out to Limahl and Baltimora on "Raspberry Beret".

It reminds me of "Y Should I do that if i can do this" where he has to shout out to random celebs that nobody cares about. Meh.

nod nod yeahthat

lol The Limahl comment. lol

Exactly my thoughts.

The shoutouts ruin an otherwise decent song. I don´t like the namedropping in his later songs and the bragging and materialism.

" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"

Yay until the shoutouts.

I like the lazy beat and the guitar. The old school references are not my cup of tea but it´s a decent song. A lot of his later music still contains some great details. Musically, this song reminds me a bit of the song Valentina. Another song with questionable lyrics but I like the lazy beat and guitar in both songs. nod

A namecheck alone is enough to ruin a track for you??...Personally, I dig it.

It's alright. One if the better jams on MPLSound, I spun it the other day, hasn't faired well in the last 5 years. It's a petty the god awful (There'all Never Be) Another Like Me (which is his worst shit ever) is on the CD, let alone the opener.

I'd totally forgot about that track. I loaded that album up in itunes minus the opener when it came out. Heard it once.
